Russia and European Natural Gas – Threat or Opportunity?

John Underhill, Professor of Geoscience & Energy Transition at Heriot-Watt University, highlights the importance of an integrated approach to energy transition.

As the E&P sector undergoes structural change to adapt to the new business environment, the need for disruptive gains in E&P efficiencies has never been greater.

How unwanted core is finding a second life and renewed purpose within the Geoscience Community through the North Sea Core Initiative.

What skills can oil and gas geoscientists contribute to the UK’s delivery of a long term solution to nuclear waste?

Will the oldest Geological Society in the world continue its mission and if so, where will its home be?

How do we release the full potential of university–industry collaboration in creating relevant innovations in petroleum and geoscience?

The basis on which natural gas is sold and priced varies dramatically between global markets. As natural gas becomes an increasingly important source of energy, an understanding of gas pricing concepts is crucial for energy producers, transporters, consumers, and regulators.

E&P companies working in Africa have long faced political pressure to maximise local content, but in today’s Covid world it makes more business sense than ever to localise supply chains, increase the competitiveness of home-grown businesses and thus contribute to sustainable economic development.

Dealing with large datasets has been always a challenge for the industry, keeping real-time monitoring and control of subsurface operations, until now, only a dream – but it is fast becoming a reality. Advanced methods of real-time subsurface monitoring can benefit not only mainstream oil and gas exploration and production decisions and enhanced oil recovery, but also carbon storage and enhanced geothermal systems.

Is the E&P industry prepared for a post Covid-19 world?

Can synergies between technologies be used to fill the energy storage gap?

The evolving role of geoscience through the energy transition.

Covid-19 is having an huge impact across many industries, including the oil, gas and energy sector – but are there any positives to the situation?

Waste to tackle waste. Researchers at Flinders University in Australia have come up with a novel way to clean up oil spills, using waste cooking oil from fast food outlets.
